Lucky, a three-week-old female kitten that was dumped in a bin escaped from being crushed by a recycling truck in Devon

According to BBC, Donna Cook from Devon Contract Waste said: "They were picking up recycling and when the truck up-ended, and as the crusher started pulling back the cardboard, they heard her screams. They stopped the crusher and out fell the kitten from its blades."

Ms Cook added: "She comes into the office and gets lots of cuddles now, so she's probably going to end up a bit spoilt, but she deserves it after what she's been through."
